“…In a few instances, compound I is apparently reduced directly to the ferric form in a two-electron transfer process (Nakamura et al, 1985), depending upon the nature of the substrate. Chloroperoxidase (CPO),* 1 besides being able to function like other heme-containing peroxidases, is able to catalyze a number of reactions that were believed to be typical of catalases (Thomas et al, 1970;Araiso et al, 1981) and to utilize chloride and bromide ions as donors for halogenation reactions (Hewson & Hager, 1978;Libby et al, 1982). More recently, CPO has been found to be capable of some P-450-type reactions such as the N-dealkylation of alkylamines (Kedderis & Hollenberg, 1983; Kedderis et al, 1986) and the epoxidation of alkenes (Me Carthy & White, 1983; Ortiz de Montellano et al, 1987).…”
